This oversized volume collects all of John's teaching stories from the first eight issues of Paping. Follow Mr. M's never-dull adventures and ruminations through reprinted classics like the Mural Story (fabulously re-drawn), the ESL Story, and the Jasmine Story. And that's not all! The round-up also features a short story written by Jody Buckles and illustrated by John; a comic by Shawn Cheng; and a painting by William Crump. Each cover is individually silkscreened, natch.

Mr. Mejias and company take it up a notch in this hefty tome that's part comics anthology, part prints portfolio, and totally kick-ass. Features silkscreened comics by Matt Wiegle, Jeff Lewis, John Mejias, and Zak Smith; xeroxed comics by Dave Miko and Sara Edward-Corbett (housed in an exquisite linocut/hand-drawn envelope); and monster prints by Billy Mavreas, Shawn Cheng, and Sean McCarthy. Plus, each wood cover sports a unique design, burned and stained by hand. One-time limited print run of 200, so get one while you can!

"Simply might be the best comics anthology of its kind." The Comics Journal
